I can't recommend this enough. Charles Mingus proves himself not only to be an incredibly creative composer and bassist, but an adept Pianist also. Full of improvisations and reinterpretations of his own compositions, this is a must own for any Mingus fan.
Seriously underrated.

I know right? Until this album I never knew the extent of his piano skills.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot. Don't know why I did not have this one already.
